Hi,
I find that someone else is having a similar email address. As 'dot' is
not recognized by gmail, I receive mails marked to the person without
dot in between. Since I am able to see his email. is it possible that
he/she can also read my emails?

If two people have similar addresses and a sender mistypes the address in
such a way that it matches the other address and then sends the mail, then
naturally the incorrect mailbox will receive the message. It's no different
that a misdialed phone number. If someone can make a mistake by leaving out
a period in the address, then obviously someone else can make a mistake and
add one where none should be. However, the other person isn't "reading your
mail". S/he may get the occasional misaddresses message, but s/he has no
access to the messages you've correctly received.
